Frequently Asked Questions — Lockwood

What is the Lockwood AirCam?

The AirCam is a unique twin-engine open-cockpit pusher aircraft designed for low-and-slow aerial photography and adventure flying. Originally built for National Geographic research in the Congo rain forest, it seats two in tandem with unobstructed views. Twin Rotax 912 engines provide safety redundancy — the AirCam can take off and fly on one engine. About 250 are flying worldwide. Kit price starts around $129,000.

How does the AirCam perform?

The AirCam excels at what no other aircraft does as well: safe, slow sightseeing. It cruises at 55 mph burning just 3.5 GPH while whisper-quiet at idle power. Takeoff roll is under 200 feet, landing roll 300 feet. With both engines, climb rate reaches 1,200 fpm. The aircraft is completely docile on one motor with no tendency to roll — unique among twins thanks to centerline-mounted pusher engines.

Who should buy an AirCam?

The AirCam suits photographers, wildlife observers, and pilots who prioritize the experience of flight over getting somewhere fast. The open cockpit is exhilarating but limits weather flying. Twin-engine safety is valuable for over-water and remote-area operations. The fabric-covered aluminum construction is conventional to build and maintain. Not a cross-country tourer — it is purpose-built for low-level aerial adventure.
